Because the Harry Potter fandom is in literal flames right now, I feel the need to address some things on my page. Even though I have a small following, I have a voice and this post will remain on my page forever, so if any of my followers ever see it, they'll know my stance.
1. I want y'all to know that my page is a safe space. If you ever want to talk to me, you can. I support everyone and our differences. As a cis, white, straight female, I cannot say what is offensive or not to the trans/LGBTQIA+ community. However, I feel that Tom Felton & JKR both owe those communities public apologies for their actions. I have to constantly educate myself to be an ally and if Tom believes "love his love" then he should have no problem apologizing to his fans.
2. Although I am currently writing a Harry Potter fanfiction, I do NOT support JKR at all. Her actions are clear transphobia and I will not be associated with her ever. Yes, I am using her characters and her universe, but I will not support HER. I believe that you can love the world that she created AS LONG AS you can see the issues within her work. The Harry Potter books are extremely lacking in diversity and they follow gender/ethnic/racial stereotypes, which is not alright. The books are written and we can't go back in time, but JKR's current actions still reflect her intolerance of those who are different than her. To repeat myself, I will not support JKR and my position on this issue will not change. Don't try to influence me.
I want you all to know that I love and support each and every single one of you. If you ever need me you can reply to this conversation or message me personally. I also have my tiktok (@/krvacc8) posted in my fanfic, so you can also reach out to me there.
Love you all,
Kayla
